    That looks excellent Rusty! Your Winnie has such a warm inviting tone with the pear! I can’t wait to rejoin the party!

    Wow! Breathtaking work! What a masterpiece!

    Good lord that looks awesome Chuck! Just amazing work!

    Just amazing work! What eye candy! JJ

    Beautiful work Bob! She looks wonderful!

    Looking really nice Glenn.
  7. scrubbyj427
    Beautiful! I’d plank as little as necessary.

    Those are looking really good Matt! I may have to order a set of those pins I like those. Are you going to add all the tackle to your guns?

    Stunning work Ben! Wow!

    Just remember rum and not bleach, Kevin! The corona won’t stand a chance. Get well soon

    Allan and Druxey, you both make great points, I wonder if the material that is shown to be “cut” takes into account that taper in the stem. If not it will look quite odd with a stem that ends up being narrower than the piece allows for. JJ

    Ahh I see now! I looked at the wrong Lion it’s this one: I can see what you are dealing with now. I would ask Tom @cafmodel. Seems strange he didn’t cnc the remaining material out. Seems like you need a mill or a blade and a lot of patience now. JJ
  13. scrubbyj427
    Isn’t there a clear cutout in the middle for it to sit on the stem? Just a quick shot of the lion on CAF’s website shows this: if that is the case i would say just slowly trim material away to get a nice snug fit. JJ

    Very nice Frank! You did an excellent job with those planks! That should set the tone for the rest of them.
  15. scrubbyj427
    Beautiful work! What wood did you use for the frames?
  16. scrubbyj427
    Thanks Jp. That really looks nice, I’m glad the LEDs worked out, they are really easy to install and produce great light! I would recommend painting the underside of your false deck a dark color as the light may penetrate the wood from below. JJ

    That clearance looks close to what I have, about 18-20” at 1/48 scale. I also like the guns arranged as you have them in the second photo, but I’m also curious as to how they were actually set on the real ship. Looks really good though. JJ

    Hi Siggi, very interesting to see that so prevalent in so many designs. Wonder why they intended to obstruct a decent portion of the opening? Weird. I’ll just leave it as is then! JJ
  19. scrubbyj427
    Hi Siggi, again wonderful work, I’m just in awe over this model. I just noticed in your last post that your aft FWD riding bit appears to potentially cover a portion of your FWD companionway. They reason why I ask is that I’m drafting Portland 1770 and I ran into this issues while utilizing the original drawings, I’m curious to know if you encounter this on Tiger and if so, do you move the bit or leave as designed? below is your model and the bitt appears to cover the companionway below you can see my 3D model of the bitt in question on Portland as well as the original draft also showing the error: JJ

    That looks really good! Well on your way. Happy New Years! JJ
  21. scrubbyj427
    That looks great Matt!! I do agree with Rusty, I think the 6mm one may be a bit small. Perhaps somewhere in between is where you want to be..
  22. scrubbyj427
    Very nice Chuck! What an achievement to produce a model of such extraordinary detail and quality and share it with us! I can’t wait to resume mine.
  23. scrubbyj427
    Lookin great Chuck! Merry Christmas
  24. scrubbyj427
    Excellent! Looking forward to this step!
  25. scrubbyj427
    Amazing work Siggi! Beautiful model! JJ
